I was running my Boat today trying to get some late season fishing done and my motor suddenly made a couple banging noises, rattling noises, and soon after died. Exhaust is coming out from down below the powerhead next to the shaft instead of from the prop. Seems to me that I lost the connection to my exhaust tube but im not sure of how all the exhaust and water connections and stuff work. Water pumps through the power head and out the 'pee' hole normally and it seems as though I have at least a majority of the power that I should have as well once it is started. It will not run very well at an idle but I am assuming that it is because all the exhaust fumes and normal 2cycle smoke it pouring out right under the carbs....as soon as speed is built up and the motor catches clean air...it works MUCH better, but still makes a sort of banging noise. Does anyone have any good ideas for me to look into or any webpages to look at the show like a cutaway design of the exhaust system? Im all ears.....I have all winter now to get that thing running good now. Any help or ideas for me to try are appreciated. I thank anyone reading for your time....bmbecker!!!
